Overview

• NBC revealed the results on September 24, with final placements of LightWire fifth, Leo High School Choir fourth, Jourdan Blue third, Chris Turner second, and Jessica Sanchez as the winner.
• Sanchez, nine months pregnant, delivered a finale performance of “Die With a Smile” and returned to AGT after first appearing as a child, later gaining wider exposure on American Idol.
• The outcome was determined solely by audience votes cast via the AGT and NBC apps and at NBC.com/agtvote within a defined overnight window.
• The results show featured collaborations by guest artists including Ciara, Leona Lewis, Aloe Blacc, Manuel Turizo, and The Script’s Danny O’Donoghue with the finalists.
• Multiple finalists had advanced via Golden Buzzers earlier in the season, including LightWire, Mama Duke, Micah Palace, Team Recycled, Steve Ray Ladson, and Sanchez, and some viewers later voiced support for runner-up Chris Turner on social media.
